HEARTLEss CRUELTY

II is TO delude poor sufferer into the belief
that some worthless liniment will cure rheu-
matism and neuralgia. Honesty is the best
policy in the manufacture Of proprietary ar
ticlesas in all other matters, and the fact that
the proprietors Of Athlophoros have never
claimed for il even all its merit would war
rant has not little TO do with its wonderful
popularity, and the thousands of grateful
testimonials received by them show that
their policy has been wise rs well rs right.
Experience has amply demonstrated
that mere outward applications are worth
less. The disease has its scat in the blood,
and any remedy to be successful must deal
with the obstructive acid which poisons
and inaames it.
Athlophoros acts on the blood, muscles
and joints directly. 1t takes the poison
out Of the blood and carries il ont of the
system; il invigorates the action of the
muscles an1 limbers the stiffness OF the
joints. Ii reaches the liver and kidneys,
cleansing them from irritating substances,
and tf followed up after the rheumatic
conditions cease, it will restore these organs
to regularity and health.
